Beautiful Bathrooms W
ould you pay $1.7 million for a bathtub? An anonymous bidder recently spent this massive sum on “Le Grand Queen,” a bathtub carved from stone that purportedly had healing properties. While we can’t all soak in such a pricey tub, we can make our bathroom feel more luxurious. Whether you’re planning a total renovation or just updating your soaking space, take notes on these new items popping up in the area’s most stylish homes. No doubt, every luxurious bathroom should start with an elegant bathtub. More and more “statement baths” are moving to the center of the room where the tub’s beauty is on full display. Today’s bathtub materials range from stone and resin, to classic cast iron. Not ready for a total renovation? You could replace your large sauna style Jacuzzi with a smaller more stylish tub in its current locale, or modify the tub surround with luxurious looking marble. From this central point, the rest of the bathroom design takes shape. If you’re installing a new shower, consider a walk-in double shower with glass doors. Relaxing steam shower generators—some complete with aromatherapy—and muscle-relaxing body sprays are current trends. Add a wall niche for toiletries to give the space an uncluttered look. Also, consider closing off your toilet area with a door and perhaps install a bidet. The right materials can add opulence to any space. To get that spa-like feeling, choose chrome or brushed gold fixtures. White marble countertops and white or gray wall and floor tiles can make the space look crisp and clean. Looking for a splash of color? Mosaic tiles and even mural tiles will give the bathroom a fun, refreshing look. When it comes to paint, opt for white and earthy hues or icy blues to lend the space an airy, at-the-spa vibe. A quick and easy way to spruce up your bathroom? Add elements more usually seen in other parts of the home. Hang airy drapes or install shutters to the windows. If your space allows, add a piece of furniture to give the room a bespoke feeling. An antique wardrobe for storing towels and linens or an upholstered poof will give your home a high-end hotel vibe. Other quick ideas: Install a crystal chandelier or fancy heated towel bars. Hang a piece of fine art. Or place a few green plants. All you need now is a fluffy white robe and a glass of water with lemon.

High-Tech Travel Hacks
S
POWER UP – Whether it’s your laptop, tablet, or
ummer is the season of travel! By now, you’ve probably heard the most common travel tips about what and how much to pack. An often-overlooked element, however, is how to maximize the benefit of all your digital devices. Before you head on your next adventure, read these tips from experienced travelers to make sure your vacation runs smoothly from start to finish.
phone, it’s crucial to keep your digital devices charged and ready to use on the go. Packing a small power strip in your carry-on luggage can save you the struggle of finding a free outlet at the airport. If the outlet most convenient to you is already in use, you can offer a solution that lets you share the precious power source. For destinations abroad, you’ll need an international adapter. Rather than lug several adapters around, it’s worth investing in one multi-outlet power bar to ensure all your devices have a chance to recharge.
PREPARE FOR THE WORST – When
IN GOOD TASTE
traveling, small mishaps can cause a major disruption to your plans. At home, scan important documents like your passport, driver’s license, and insurance policies and upload them to a digital storage space such as Google Drive or Dropbox. Alternatively, you can take photos of these documents and save them in an offline space on your phone, so they can be easily accessed without a stable internet connection. Consider linking at least one credit card to a digital wallet on your phone in case you misplace your wallet or get pickpocketed. Hopefully, you won’t need these safety measures, but you’ll be glad to have them in place if you do.
DOWNLOAD THE DETAILS – Take advantage of your fully powered devices by downloading helpful apps and info. Applications like GateGuru show you the amenities in airport terminals and what’s close to your gate. That means less guessing and more informed decisions about where to grab coffee or use a bathroom; no more will you have to wonder if this one is your last chance before your gate. When you’re exploring beyond the airport, use maps of the area you’re visiting that you’ve already downloaded to your phone. This will save you data charges and give you peace of mind that even if you can’t get an internet connection, you can find your way around.
